Clean-cut character: Eric Rasmussen always kept his hair clean and short. He shaved twice a day and brushed his teeth after every meal. He wore sharp suits and kept his shoes polished. He never tried drugs or alcohol and spent much of his free time volunteering and helping kids. He never let his hair get scraggly during monthlong drug binges. He never grew a stringy, food-filled mustache that, paired with his chew-stained teeth, matched the color scheme of his baseball uniform. He never looked like he spent the hours before and after baseball games dropping acid and drinking whiskey. Wait, what? Oh, that Eric Rasmussen. We thought you meant Eric Rasmussen, chairman of the Early Childhood Music Department at the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University. Apologies.

The Measure of Bust

Baseball Card Bust has been brought to you by two guys whose athletic endeavors remain an embarrassment to their fathers. Their attempts at humor are fabricated stories; they are in no way meant to trample on the athletes' success on and off the field. This site is a testament to the value of sports cards, which stretches beyond price-guide listings and the enjoyment of collecting cards as kids.
